WASECA – The Waseca boys’ and girls’ cross country teams were dominant at Lakeside Golf Course last Thursday. 

Coach Gary Meurer’s Bluejays had an easy time capturing team titles at the Waseca Invitational. 

Coach Mike Weber’s New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva teams placed sixth among nine teams in the boys’ race and sixth among seven teams in the girls’ race. 

The NRHEG clay target team is currently one of 33 schools participating in the Fall League for the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League.

Although the fall league is smaller than the spring league, which boasted over 100 teams for 2013, the fall league is also growing significantly as is reflected throughout this entire sport.

As in the spring, the conferences the schools compete in are not geographic but instead are based on team size. With 11 shooters, the NRHEG team is in Conference 1A.

Win at LCWM sets up Friday showdown at Maple River

LAKE CRYSTAL – The New Richland-Hartland-Ellendale-Geneva football team had to stray from its game plan against the Lake Crystal-Wellcome Memorial Knights at Lake Crystal Friday. 

The Panthers were able to adjust well enough to earn a 28-22 victory and remain in a first-place deadlock with Maple River for the top spot in the Gopher/Valley AA Conference. 

“LCWM played a very aggressive, attacking defense tonight,” said NRHEG coach Dan Stork. “We weren’t able to stick to our game plan completely, but the kids did a nice job adjusting to it.”

The Panthers improved to 3-0 in the conference and 3-2 overall. NRHEG is 2-0 on the road this season.
